Beacon 23 has a return date. MGM+ has announced the debut of the eight episode second season with the release of a trailer. The streaming service announced the sci-fi series’ renewal two days after the first season concluded in December.
Starring Lena Headey, Stephen James, Marnie McPhail, Daniel Malik, Cyrus Faird, Sydney Ozerov-Meyer, Hannah Melissa, and Scott Tara Rosling, the sci-fi series based on Hugh Howey’s novel follows the residents of a Beacon at the edge of the universe during the 23rd century. The residents will face new challenges during season two.
MGM+ teased more about the series’ return in a press release.
Beacon 23 takes place in the farthest reaches of the Milky Way and Season One followed Aster (Lena Headey), a government agent, and Halan (Stephan James), a stoic ex-military man, whose fates became entangled after they found themselves trapped together inside one of many Beacons that served as a lighthouse for intergalactic travelers.
In Season Two, Beacon 23 is now little more than a prison with Aleph onboard, and The Artifact provides more questions than answers. Without a clear path forward, the inhabitants of Beacon 23 must rely on each other, but their conflicting agendas may get in the way.
Beacon 23 returns on April 7th. The trailer for season two is below.
